2013/12/14:Why Did Jesus Come?

We marvel at the fact that God humbled Himself and was born in a
cave. But why did He come?

First, Jesus Christ came to proclaim good news to the
spiritually hurting, to preach the good news to us. He came to heal the
broken-hearted. Medical science has found ways to reduce and even remove pain.
But there is no cure for a broken heart.

Jesus came to set people free who are bound by sin. Jesus came
to open our spiritual eyes to our spiritual need.

He came to lift up those who are crushed by life. He came to
give us abundant life. Jesus came to lift us from the physical realm of the senses
to the spiritual realm to show us that there is more to life.

He came to give His life for us. Jesus said, “For even the Son
of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom
for many” (Mark 10:45). He came to die. Jesus Christ came to this earth to seek
and save those of us who are lost, just as a shepherd seeks a lost sheep.

So in all of this hustle and bustle, wrapping paper, mistletoe, and
brightly colored lights, let’s get down to the bottom line. Christmas is about
God sending His Son to die on a cross. He was born to die, to give us abundant
life, to give us a life that is worth living.
